what I don't want for Christmas


what I don't want for Christmas
are arguments
disagreements too
I don't want to see
family
get angry and unglued
what I don't want for Christmas
are silly songs that just won't cease
all I want for Christmas
is peace

what I don't want for Christmas
are outrageous shopping bills
I'm appalled
at shopping malls
down in Granada Hills
what I don't want for Christmas
are plastic reindeer flying above
all I want for Christmas 
is love

          Santa can give the latest toys
          digital files of background noise
          CDs of the Little Drummer Boy
          sung by David and Bing
          Santa can give you lots of loot
          cute recruits in mohair suits
          strap yourself to a tree with roots
          but they don't mean a thing

what I don't want for Christmas
are a million ho-ho-ho's
telling me
what's wrong with me
as if I didn't know
what I don't want for Christmas
and you know that I'm correct
is anything to do
with the president elect
